Best Answer

Yes

Doctor Who (TV 1996) starring Paul McGann is the only televised version of the 8th incarnation of the doctor and is considered cannon.

However; some of his comments such as being part human are considered lies. The Doctor (as a character) was either joking or deliberately misleading in some of his statements. So anything he says that contradicts other established story lines is essentially considered a lie as well.

This type of behavior has deliberately been highlighted in the newer Doctors (9, 10 and 11) such as when the 10th Doctor allows his companion to believe Gallifrey still exists (though the audience knows it's gone). 'The Doctor lies' has become an established storyline point so that minor continuity issues can be cleaned up simply by the fact that the Doctor is often misleading in his statements for various reasons. Sometimes because he doesn't feel like taking the time to fully explain something or other times he is simply doing it to entertain himself.

What episode did the eighth doctor regenerate?

No episode has shown the 8th Doctor's regeneration. He was never in any series of the show, he was in the American made TV movie and in that movie they showed the 7th Doctor regnerate into the 8th, but we don't get to see the 8th regenerate into the 9th Doctor. It goes from the movie, to the revamp in 2005 with the episod Rose where the assumption seems to be that the 9th Doctor is fairly new and possibly recently regenerated.
